<p>There is not much good news regarding Turkey’s relationship with the European Union. Even though opportunities for cooperation do exist (on trade and foreign policy, for instance), any attempt at rekindling the relationship seems to drown easily in tensions driven by negative domestic developments.</p>

<p>2014 was another year characterized by turbulence in Turkish relations with Europe and the United States. In Turkey’s neighborhood, large swaths of Iraqi and Syrian territory fell under the control of the Islamic State group and Russia annexed Crimea.</p>

<p>Sometimes a figure says more than 1,000 words. The euro devaluated 9 percent against the U.S. dollar in 2014. At the beginning of that year, one had to pay $1.37 for €1. At the end of the year it was only $1.21 to €1 (and late January 2015 $1.13: €1). </p>
